Chapter 27: Mochi vs. Kabaji

The big grizzly bear licked the sweet bamboo, hugged the baby bear and said goodbye to the three of them, and disappeared at the end of the jungle, and after giving away the strange fruit, the smile on its bear face couldn't be easier.

The rapid change in mood reminded Bucky of the other party's cannibalism at the beginning, and it felt like everyone had tacitly staged a ridiculous farce, making people not know whether to cry or laugh.

After that, Bucky and Shuma agreed to meet at noon the next day, and then he and Mochi left at night, bypassing the Kumat settlement near the foot of the mountain, not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble with the Kumat.

The two of them walked all the way to the coast.

Bucky asked expectantly, "Mochi, do you feel anything change in your body?" ”

Devil fruits are natural, superhuman and animal, judging from the appearance and texture, this one should be superhuman, and I don't know what kind of ability it is.

"Nothing seems to have changed."

Mochi is also confused, according to Captain Bucky, as long as he eats this devil fruit, he will gain the power of "demon", but so far, he has not felt any difference in his body.

Bucky muttered suspiciously, "Could it be a fake Devil Fruit?" ”

He didn't dare to pack a ticket, the world was so big, anything strange would happen, maybe it was just a fruit with a similar appearance.

But judging from Mochi's expression just now, the taste of this fruit should be the unique and terrifying taste of the Devil Fruit...... Forget it, when the time comes, let him touch the seawater and try to find out the real and fake.

Mochi had a bitter face, he swallowed the devil fruit that tasted like chewing with humiliation, he thought that he could use the power of the devil fruit to suppress Kabaji's head, but it seemed that nothing had happened until now, and he doubted that what he had eaten was really just a stick that had been dried for hundreds of years......

Wait a minute! Can't think about it anymore...... He hammered his head twice, and quickly stopped the thought, and then thought of the initiator, Xiuma, who would not have eaten this fruit if it wasn't for helping the other party complete the boring ritual.

He hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Captain Bucky, will that kid from Xiuma not come?" ”

Bucky glanced back at the darkness behind him: "What can stop the ambition of a teenager who yearns for the wide world...... Judging from the simple and terrible nature, he must be this kind of person. ”

"Don't let my night's hard work go to waste, bastard!" Mochi scolded in a low voice, although the idiot had no brains and always called his name wrong, but the cooking was so-so, and the combat effectiveness seemed to be okay, if he didn't get on the boat, it would be a pity...... And the account of being chased by that grizzly bear must be counted on his head, if he doesn't come, he won't be able to get out of this evil breath!

Early the next morning, Bucky led Moki through the woods and back to the shore where the BΓΌkudopp was anchored.

The main mast of the Bikudopp had been repaired by shipwrights and squirrymen, the cracks had been tightly sewn with several pieces of iron, and the mess on the deck had been cleaned up.

Kabaji was bandaged and his eyes were closed on the boat, his breath seemed to be different from before, a little ethereal, as if he was feeling a new realm.

This subtle change made Bucky on the deck can't help but look sideways, and if he didn't pay special attention, he completely ignored that there was still a person there.

"Kabaji." Bucky stepped forward, "You seem to be in good shape. ”

Kabaji slowly opened his eyes, the hazy feeling on his body disappeared, he stood up, his eyes looked directly at the big fast knife in his hand: "Captain Bucky, I seem to have found my sword path." ”

"Did you break through?"

"No...... Not yet, but I think I finally know where I'm going to go, and thanks to the bounty hunter, with the knife he stabbed at me, I was able to take a step at this fork in the road of the sword that I didn't dare to move for more than a decade......"

"Stop bragging, One-Eyed Dragon, who do you think you are, Jian Hao?" Mochi unceremoniously struck Kabaji from the sidelines.

"Do you want to try it?" A gloomy smile appeared on Kabaji's face, "White-haired monster. ”

"This bastard seems to be a little different from before." Although Mochi didn't dare to be careless in his heart, he showed disdain on the surface, "Come on, I'll let you have a niche." ”

Lying on the deck basking in the sun, Nicki's ears moved, and his body rubbed back, hiding his bare head.

Kabaji half-pushed Sakurabuki Snow out of the scabbard, the blade reflecting a translucent white light in the dazzling sunlight, and walked towards Mochi step by step.

"What!"

Mochi's pupils shrank, and his face was shocked, "Disappear, disappear!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Bucky, who retreated to the side to watch, was also startled in his heart, obviously Kabaji was still there, but he didn't seem to feel his presence at that moment just now, as if his body was hidden in the invisible air, and he couldn't even feel his breath and a slight murderous aura.

But the moment his footsteps stepped on the deck, his presence could be noticed more clearly.

"Nothingness. Chop. ”

Kabaji tightened his grip on the hilt of Sakurabuki's knife in his right hand, and his body seemed to be shuttling between two parallel spaces, his steps became faster and faster, and the strange illusion became stronger and stronger, and he pulled Sakurabuki's scabbard out in an instant.

Boom!

Sakura Blowing Snow's breath disappeared in an instant, and his movements were not fast for a moment, and he couldn't see any clever skills when he drew his knife, but it made people feel that his knife was still in the scabbard and had not been pulled out.

Mochi's eyes flickered, and the tip of Sakurabuki's knife was already against his chest!

A smug smile appeared on Kabaji's face: "This is my sword way, Shenyin Kendo!" Mochi ...... I've finally defeated you, I've been waiting for this day for a long time, you white-haired monster! ”

Bucky's eyes flickered as he looked at the duel in front of him, as if he understood something, Kabaji did not disappear, but kept reducing his sense of existence, but it didn't seem to reach the point of coordination, so that after each disappearance, the whole person would appear with a stronger sense of existence, which would give people a strong illusion.

If I have to say it, this should be regarded as an extremely clever trick to deceive the eyes, no, it may have been out of the realm of the trick...... After so many years of immersion in acrobatics and opportunism, it seems that he has also learned something......

"Your kendo is really similar to your style, but do you think you're winning like this?" Mochi gripped the blade with his left hand, and bent his right hand into a wolf's claw, grabbing at Kabaji's chest.

Listening to the sound of stabbing through the air like a sword, Kabaji secretly said that it was not good, let go of the big fast knife held by the other party in his hand, hurriedly lowered his waist, stood upside down on the deck with both hands, and at the same time did a backflip of Lisuo, he grabbed Sakurabuki with both feet together and pulled it out violently.

He hurriedly retreated, picked the knife on his foot into his hand, looked at the five holes on his chest scarf that were pierced by his fingers, and said with some trepidation: "What kind of strange power are you?!" ”

Mochi spread his two unscathed hands, the sharpness of the knife did not even cut his skin, and there was a cold light as sharp as a knife between his fingers.

He looked at Kabaji and said, "I forgot to tell you, I ate a Devil Fruit, and at that moment just now, I probably knew my abilities. ”

"The same Devil Fruit as Captain Bucky!" Kabaji said incredulously, "You white-haired and round-eared bastard can eat Devil Fruits......"

"Don't show me a look of contempt!" Mochi's two hands collided with each other, and an eerie metallic voice appeared, "My ability to store the damage I have received and then transfer this damage to my body or weapon, although it can only last for a short time, but it is enough......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cold light on his fingers disappeared, his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, his two hands hurriedly rubbed each other, and his mouth kept blowing on his fingers: "It hurts, it hurts!" ”

"......" Kabaji: "It seems that you have found a terrible means of killing, you want to ...... Laugh at me! ”

"Of course......" Mochi, who thought the other party was admitting, suddenly reacted, and looked at the other party angrily while blowing his hands, "You bastard, you're making fun of me, absolutely!" ”
